UNSPSC 85602368: Excision of ascending colon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of ascending colon, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0DBK4ZZ

UNSPSC 85602368 Excision of ascending colon, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows no substantive match between the code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The five opportunities posted between February and April 2026 involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. None represent the procurement of surgical or endoscopic services that the code nominally describes. State and local procurement offices occasionally tag health-system opportunities with clinical procedure codes that do not reflect the actual work being bought, and this code appears to be an example of that mismatch.

The opportunities that are tagged under this code span county and municipal health systems in Georgia, Florida, and California, including Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison medical services, RFP 26-0008, due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members, RFP, due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County Health (peer support services for peer workers under MHSA Innovation funding, $580,000 total, RFP 2025-007, due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department (medical director services, RFP 455, due October 16, 2025). The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing surgical or procedural healthcare procurement; business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
